Putham Pudhu Kaalai: Vidiyaadha

I loved all of five stories, you can watch them without too much OTT. There is more talent in India than anywhere else. To make the viewer fully invest in the characters of a 30-minute part within an anthology film is a mammoth task, and it requires a combination of sharp writing, powerful performances, and character chemistry, so we had it in here.

PPKV, very shamefully, was a series we pushed aside as it appeared like cliché tales about romance and relationships.

The first installment wasn't too exciting so we automatically assumed there was nothing to look forward to in this sequel.

WRONG!!!

The narratives were so organic and believable, no goofy romance (well, except for the first story 'Mugakavasa Mutham' 😃 ).

The writers put an accent on the emotions of fear, uncertainty, aimlessness, and emptiness that invaded people during the lockdown.

Anyone watching Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa will identify with at least one narrative.

We applaud the work executed on all 5 stories, our special favorites were 'Mouname Paarvayaai' and 'Loners', they deserve a bowing ovation.

We literally became emotional looking at the frailty of life and relationships while watching these 2 segments.

Arjun Dasssss, that voice!!!!! 😍...It was so fulfilling to see him in a gentleman role, his performance really touched our hearts.

Well made. All the five stories are nicely portrayed by all actors. The one with Joju and Nadia is the best. So is one story with Lakshmi and the one with police.

These type of stories we expect after watching too much OTT. There is more talent in India than anywhere else . This one is on that attempt. Our wishes and congrats for such future endorsements for the team. The 1st series too became a household name in Indian OTT.

Keep it up the team.

Just as the 3rd wave is declining, we have been treated with beautiful anthologies by mazon Prime Video. First there was 'Unpaused: Naya Safar' and now 'Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa', a Tamil anthology based during the 2nd wave.

Listing below the stories on the based of my likeable order:

1. Mouname Paarvayaai: Very seldom you see a story which does not have any dialogues & yet it touches your heart. This story is based on a couple who do not talk to each other and how they rediscover love. Joju George and Nadhiya Moidu deliver fantastic performance & surely this story will make you fall in love with them. (4.5/5)

2. Nizhal Tharum Idham: Memories, things that we keep with us for life. Sometimes we regret them sometimes we cherish. A story of 'letting go' & accepting the facts is very well portrayed in this episode. (3.5/5)

3. Loners: 2 strangers but very lonely bond over an online video call & starts to develop feelings for each other. The beautiful story about their bond with loneliness and superb acting by Lijomol Jose and Arjun Das makes this episode lovely to watch (3/5)

4. Mugakavasa Mutham: A lovestory between 2 police officers and how they help a pair to elope in the lockdown forms the narrative of the episode. The climax will surely make you smile. (3/5)

5. The Mask: A happy go lucky guy wanting to come out in front of his parents about his sexualty is earnestly shown in the episode. However due to poor execution it falters and loses interest. The weakest of all (2/5)

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon Prime

The first episode is over sweet and looks like lost the main track... The second, third and four are superb and liked every bit of the episodes.... It as fine acting and superb dialogs and its so feel good also.... Some dialogs looks preachy but adjustable Joju and Nadia episode is the best one.

The last episode is so heavy and dead slow...fine acting couldnt save the flow of this one... As a conclusion, ok start ends with dozed one... but the middle ones are so great.
